Antique Silver Cyma Pocket Watch for J W Benson

Antique silver Cyma pocket watch for J W Benson.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement, Cyma reference 939, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the name of the original high end retailer, J W Benson. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both case backs for Birmingham 1912 together with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison, the English case maker and supplier to various watch makers. The case is in good condition, just the odd small mark but nothing serious at all. The original owner’s initials have been beautifully engraved on the back of the watch.

The main face of the glass lens is in lovely condition. A few small nibbles to the bevelled edge.

The signed dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
